Salads are always exhilarating in summer! You can choose any fruits or vegetables you want to create a different tasty salad every time.

In this salad I chose Burghul as a main component, for those who have no clue what Burghul could be, it’s actually wheat which has been cleaned, parboiled, dried, grounded into particles and sifted into distinct sizes. Burghul is most commonly used in Middle Eastern, Assyrian, Armenian, Turkish, Lebanese and Mediterranean kitchens. And it’s mainly used in salads, or as a substitute to rice, in soups, bakery goods, and to stuff vegetables or meat. Burghul have different names in the Middle East; In Saud Arabia for example it’s called Jarrish as it’s used to prepare the Saudi Arabian traditional dish Jarrish.

In the Levant region Burghul was previously used instead or rice and when the industry of the rice started rich people were the first to buy it and cook it.
